Where are you?

Getting your clients to [] your business without getting them lost!

"So I'm a the intersection of Main and Elm just in front of the Dunkin' Donuts. I took the wrong exit then asked someone at a pizza shop for directions and they were sure where your building is, so I stayed on the main route until..."

Tired of taking more time telling your clients how to get to your office than you spend making a sale? There is help!

google maps

Using Google Maps is a simple and effective way to give directions to your customers. Here is how it works: 

  1. Go to www.maps.google.com
  2. Enter your business address including the city and state
  3. Click the "LINK" button in the upper right corner of the map
  4. Copy the code that you want to use on your web site or in your email
  5. That's it!
You can embed the actual map into your web page or into your email message. Then your client can manipulate the map any way they like. Google Maps also provides written directions from their location to yours.
 
There, your life just got easier!

Jim Somers
founder, owner Jim lighter

After 10 years of work in graphic design, marketing, and video production, Jim and his wife Heidi decided to start their own business right in their hometown of Amesbury, MA.

Jim's 25 years of experience includes:

  • Video Production and Direction

  • Art Direction


"It got to the point that I was doing what I love but for someone else. So the natural progression was to work for myself...and that was almost 16 years ago. It's been quite a ride, but I wouldn't change my decision if I had the chance."

My hobbies:
Photography, Rock Climbing, Gold Prospecting, Guitar, Family (not necessarily in that order)

Goals:
Live in the desert of Arizona with Heidi and prospect for gold!

Don't forget about using the mail as a way to reach your customers!
